The Book of Amos is a prophetic book in the Old Testament that focuses on God's judgment against Israel (the northern kingdom) for their social injustice and religious hypocrisy. Amos, a shepherd and fig farmer from Judah, was called by God to preach against the corruption and oppression he witnessed in Israel. The book emphasizes God's passion for justice and righteousness, and the consequences of turning away from God's moral standards.
